DESCRIPTIONHigh-purity laboratory gas suitable for analyses from percentage to ppm levels. ALPHAGAZ™ 1 Helium (He) is used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography, as instrument gas in mass spectrometry and elemental analysis, and for purge and zero-gas applications such as TOC and thermal analysis. In the semiconductor industry it is used for cooling and for leak testing.
Applications- Carrier gas (GPC)
- Instrument gas (LC/MS, elemental analysis, etc.)
- Purge gas (TOC, thermal analysis)
- Zero gas
Benefits- Low concentration of critical impurities suitable for routine analysis
- Quality documented on the supplied certificate of conformity
- Traceability via lot number
- Purity and long-term stability ensured by special cylinder preconditioning
Selection and service- Reference gas suitable for analyses from % to ppm
